Laws are in place for many reasons, including keeping people safe. When people violate those laws, people are often injured as a result. If you were harmed by an individual or an institution who was committing or facilitating a crime, there’s a strong chance you’re entitled to compensation, and our legal team can help represent your interests through that process.
The first thing you should understand is that a civil personal injury complaint is different from a criminal complaint. When you press charges against someone who committed a crime, the outcome will likely be them facing criminal penalties, such as jail time, fines, or probation. On the other hand, in a civil complaint, you’re simply alleging that the person was the direct cause of an injury to you or your loved one and that you deserve to be compensated financially for that the resulting physical and emotional injuries.
